This beautiful mama to be called me to schedule some maternity pictures (which we did) but she also mentioned that her family would be in town and that she wanted to gift her parents some photos with everyone. We got together and boogied hard. The two little ones did such a good job. I always […]

This gorgeous family reached out, I literally fangirled super hard. Mama S, is the owner and amazing mastermind behind the stunning Scottsdale interior design firm, Black Ink Interiors. If you want nothing but the best when it comes to interior design, reach out to this gorgeous lady and her hubby. Their two daughters were so […]

When I got the call from Diane and she described how intimate and special they intended their special day to be, I immediately said yes! We met up before the day and she gave me the details of what the ceremony would be like. They had all their closest family members come from all over […]

Calling all mamas and mamas to be: WILDFLOWER season is upon us! I cannot even handle how gorgeous the desert gets this time of year. Spring is upon us and that means that wildflowers start springing up everywhere. Papago Park in Tempe is absolutely stunning year round but this mama knew that she wanted her […]

When Chelsea reached out she told me they just moved out from the Pacific North West. She was very specific about wanting something that would truly capture the Arizona vibe. I knew exactly where I needed to take them: Lost Dutchman State Park in the Superstition Mountains. Mom was super nervous about that littlest would […]

My dear friend and fellow mom blogger Kidizona asked me to take their family pictures and it was amazing. First off, her girls and my girls went to preschool together and are still besties. Secondly, Lindsay and I grew up in the same place (Southern California) and we are both desert transplants. We became instant […]

These babies were all SO photogenic and had me swooning from the moment they walked up. Mom and dad were not only so easy going but they were so much fun. They understood the assignment very well and let the kids have fun. Bobbi was nervous about to wear for her family portrait session but […]

These cuties just moved to the desert and wanted to document their family of 3 before welcoming baby boy! When we talked about locations she said take me to the most desert looking place you can think of. I knew immediately it had to be at the Lost Dutchman state park in the Superstition Mountains. […]

Officiant: Amy Stephens of https://www.azweddingsbyamy.com/ I’ve said it before, but if I could go back in time and do it again, I would elope a thousand times over! There is nothing more romantic than just the two of you reading your vows love to one another. So when Claire and Adam called me up and […]

It was my second time shooting at the stunning Wright House Wedding Venue in the heart of Mesa, Arizona. It is such a hidden gem. You literally are driving and have no idea that behind some greenery lies this enchanting cottage/villa looking wedding venue. I always get so excited when I have a couple tell […]

The Superstition Mountains in Phoenix Arizona have become one of my most favorite places to shoot at, be at, hang out in, hike at, literally everything at. I was giddy when I saw J pull up with her dresses in hand. It was a dream. I always tell my mamas, the ideal time to do […]

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved the VW, so when I saw it pull up, I just about lost my mind. Once I saw Alexandria and Alan come out of the car the whole experience got a hundred times better. You would not know that they have been together for a […]

What a special moment between these two! Madison had absolutely no idea that Sam was going to propose. She did not even know that I was going to photograph them. The shock and sheer surprise on her face was priceless. She was not the only one crying (I was too behind the lens haha). Let […]

Shot at Scottsdale Arizona Civic Center There is something about mamas and their bumps that I absolutely adore. Maybe it’s because I have been in their shoes and know all that comes with growing a life. Maybe it’s because I am that weirdo that wants to rub all the bumps I see. I can’t tell […]

I have been photographing so many mamas to be lately. One thing I always tell my mamas to be is make sure you wear something that makes you feel really good about yourself. Maternity clothes have come such a long long way. When you feel good about yourself, your smile, energy, and mood radiates exactly […]

The Hudson Family is very near and dear to my heart. They are close friends and I felt honored when they asked me to take their family pictures. Not only were they all so much fun to be around but they were incredibly easy to shoot. I feel like teenagers are hit and miss when […]

I’ve been to very small weddings before and thought they were so cozy and ideal yet getting to experience a true elopement (of just the couple, the officiant and two photographers/witnesses) was something literally out of a fairy tale.   We were literally at the edge of the world it seemed like (see below) getting to […]
